Don't expect Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim and ESPN reporter Andy Katz to be sitting at the same lunch table any time soon.

The Orange coach, following a loss to rival UConn, called Katz an "idiot" and "really disloyal" and said he'll answer "anybody's question but (Katz's)."

"There's a few other things I could add, but I'm not gonna go there," Boeheim added.

It's unclear why Boeheim decided to lash out at Katz during a press conference after Syracuse's 66-58 loss at Connecticut on Wednesday night.

"Andy Katz is one of the industry's best reporters, who is extremely professional and respected," ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports. "He doesn't know exactly what led to that reaction from Coach Boeheim, who hasn't spoken to Andy since December 2011."
